Data plan options

I am looking at buying a new android cell phone to replace my old Nokia.

Smart phones mean data plangs - got that - but when I go to slect data plans only one plan is provided for on the "boeing" company plan. Note: Accessing the plan says : Welcome eligible Boeing employees, subsidiary employees and retirees!!

The phone is non-blackberry design - it's policy that this type of phone is not authorized to hook up to the Enterprise e-mail server. No biggie - I rather not pay 2x more for service I can't access....

What I would like to select DataPlus 200MB at first and if I use / need more data I could upgrade to the DataPro 2 GB for smart phones. Not sure how much true need / usage I will have until I use the hardware for a bit.

So is there a bug on the website for that data plan - or is it the only data plan offered (odd because other co-workers have the non-enterprise data plans) - or should I consider going thru my wife's company plan where the discounts are not quite as low - but then I don't have to use the Enterprise solution.

Thank you for participating within the AT&T Business Community. We will need some account information to be able to review what data plans are available for you. We have sent you a Private Message with instructions on how to send us your information.

Being board I figured I would try other methods to get the phone data plan - this time I tried to upgrade using my existing Boeing cell phone only number to see what would be there - I can get the phone - but at an additional 100 dollars - but now I can see all of the other data plans. But these plans have no primer discounts associated with them. So upgrade my existing primer plan bumps the price of the phone + loss of discount on data plans.

These issues looks to be another bug.

I just went to CostCo to see what their AT&T deal on the phone would be. They charge 1/2 the max via the phone line upgrade - or 50 dollars less than the new line activation. I will have to run the numbers to see if an CostCo deal on the phone over two years saves more money versus the primer plan + higher data package + 150 over the same phone via CostCo with AT&T.

Another option is to buy the phone with no contract - and just add the cheapest data plan I can get....that excel spreadsheet is going to get a work out doing cost / benefit analysis to find the best deal.

I am in the process improvement field - so I figure it's always useful to notify companies about possible faults / bugs in their software.

Summary of findings:

Nice e-mail response - however; the baseic reply was please don't bother me with bugs in the web ordering process which would result in the customer being over charged by $100 for the phone and be over charged for data rate plans by 100%.
